In July the Riding School does not give full performances but does a Session called Pieber meets Vienna. They have the Mares and foals who are learning steps to become fully ftrained for the Spanish Riding School when they are older. We had box seats, bit pricey but well worth the money and a great 1 hours show, not to be missed.

2/5 - Disappointing

Chaotic long queue so did not go in

The Stallions are on summer break but there is a guided demo of the riders, carriages, mares and new born foals. It's ok if horses are your thing but a bit pricey I thought. Buy the cheapest ticket and then stand behind the gallery seats for a good view. We paid the extra and were then crowded by people standing over us. None of the staff moved them back but did come around to tell one person not to sit on the ballustrade
